United Neighbors - 808 N. Harrison Street, Davenport, Iowa
Quad Cities Interfaith Faith Leaders Caucus, a coalition of clergy and faith leaders in the QCA, are holding a press conference to lift up concerns related to issues of community policing on Thursday, Oct 29th at 12:15 pm at United Neighbors in Davenport. In a statement called "Partnership for Vibrant, Equitable, and Safe Communities and Policing." faith leaders will identify concerns they have and call for among other components , a return to community policing , concrete policies to address racial profiling, and the creation of civilian oversight boards to address complaints as they arise.
"Justice and lovingkindness for all?expressed in a renewed and active partnership of civilians and police?is the path to vibrant, equitable, and safe communities and policing.
But structural bias and racism undermine good people and good intentions, harming people and whole neighborhoods. This reality calls us, faith leaders in the Quad Cities, to act together for the sake of a more just and loving community."
